“Recite the two brightly illuminated chapters — Surat al-Baqarah and Āl ʿImrān — for on the Day of Resurrection, they will come as two clouds, or two shades, or two flocks of birds pleading for their companions.” (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 804)Today we kick off our journey into Signs, starting with Juz 1–3.

New Series! Quran Cover-to-Cover!In this introductory session, we discuss:• What it means to become a Companion of the Qur'an• The Power of the Qur'an on the Human Heart ❤️• Principles of Tadabbur al-Qur'an (deep reflection)• The theory of Maqāṣid Suwar (the objectives of each Sūrah)

When the truth is blurred, what path will guide us? Without a firm compass, society unravels into chaos and relativism.“The people of the earth are in greater need of the Messenger's message than rain from the sky, light from the sun that illuminates the darkness…” (Ibn al-Qayyim, As-Sawāʿiq)

From the chants of the crowd to the spirit in the streets, Sunday's march echoed a truth: every effort matters, and true success comes only from Allah. You alone we worship, and You alone we ask for help. This week, we'll explore:•⁠ ⁠Reflections from the weekend's protest•⁠ ⁠The linguistic secrets of this āyah — word order, repetition, singular vs. plural•⁠ ⁠The psychology of ‘ibādah – how love, humility & motivation shape worship•⁠ ⁠7 keys of Tawakkul from Ibn al-Qayyim•⁠ ⁠How ‘ibādah + isti‘ānah together define true servanthood

Alhamdulillāhi Rabbil ʿĀlamīn isn't just praise — it's the foundation of a theocentric worldview.In a godless culture of self-glorification, secular gratitude, and materialistic obsession, this ayah reclaims:The meaning of existenceA moral framework rooted in divine lordship (Rububiyyah)A critique of atheism and materialism that leads to nihilism and existential narcissismThe recognition that to identify a blessing, one must acknowledge a Benefactor

“The Most Merciful shows mercy to those who show mercy. Show mercy to those on earth and the One in heaven will show mercy to you.” (Jāmiʿ al-Tirmidhī, 1924)We'll dive into:•⁠ ⁠The Name Allah— encompassing all His Perfect Names and Attributes.•⁠ ⁠⁠Divine Mercy vs Deism — why Allah's Lordship is never distant.•⁠ ⁠⁠Rubūbiyyah & Duʿāʾ — relying on the One who governs all affairs.•⁠ ⁠⁠Raḥmān & Raḥīm — linguistic roots, key distinctions•⁠ ⁠⁠An Epistemic Dimension — embodying mercy as a way of knowing Allah more deeply.

“The Day when they shall rise from their graves, nothing will be hidden from God. To whom does the kingdom belong today? To God, the One, the Supreme.” (Qur'an 40:16)In this Faith Circle, we uncover the next ayah of Sūrah al-Fātiḥah — Māliki Yawm al-Dīn.We'll explore:•⁠ Two ⁠qirāʾāt: malik vs mālik, and the wisdoms in their combining•⁠ ⁠Accountability and the moral order•⁠ ⁠Allah's all-encompassing justice•⁠ ⁠⁠True ownership of time

This week, we move to the Basmalah — adorning our recitation by beginning in Allah's Name, seeking His mercy, and welcoming blessing. We'll explore:•⁠ ⁠Is the Basmala part of Surah al-Fātiḥah?•⁠ ⁠The name Allah — proper noun or derived?•⁠ ⁠Raḥmān and Raḥīm — what's the difference, and why does it matter?•⁠ ⁠How starting in Allah's

This series will offer an in-depth tafseer of each verse, as well as a broad look at the themes presented in the greatest piece of revelation ever sent down to mankind.Dr Zohair taught this class 15 years ago, as his first Halaqa series. It is very near and dear to him and has remained his favourite topic. Here are some reasons why:It makes the Salah even more meaningful ⁠It contains the entire message of the Quran⁠It is a letter from Allah to us, containing His Love, Mercy and Kindness⁠It addresses all ideologies and isms that human beings have ever come up with from the past and in the present. ⁠It is a window into an intimate conversation with Allah that takes place everyday

“…It is as though God has chosen the initial word of His Book to be a testament to His tolerance and kindness. But what, then, does one commence with the Basmalah? Every pursuit, every endeavor, every act of obedience.”This Thursday, we're diving deep into the Isti'adha and Basmalah! Our aim is to move beyond routine and ritual, and truly uncover these powerful gateways to Surah Fatiha.Encapsulated within these brief but profound phrases lies a complete worldview, mirroring the very first command given to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ by Jibrīl: “Recite in the Name of your Lord.” (Qur'an 96:1)✨What we'll learn:•⁠ ⁠The wisdom behind legislating these phrases before recitation•⁠ ⁠Different forms of Isti'adha found in the Sunnah•⁠ ⁠Multiple layers of meaning behind Bismillah•⁠ ⁠Protection from evil and seeking benefit — the two paths every human being faces, captured in the Isti'adha-Basmalah pairing

The world is a prison for the believer and paradise for a non-believer.As this series concludes, the finale *The Liberal Delusion* confronts the false and dangerous ideologies which have replaced divine truth with human delusion. The modern trinity of Agnosticism, Secular Humanism and Liberalism. The system presents us with a world without God, morality without revelation and politics without accountability, leading us on a dark, dystopic and hollow path.Join us as Dr. Zohair takes us through the core myths of our age and how Kitab al-Zuhd wa'l-Raqa'iq provides us with insight and understanding to realign us with our ultimate purpose.

“A man once saw a thorny branch on the road and removed it so it wouldn't harm the people—so Allah was pleased with him and forgave him.” – Our beloved Prophet ﷺThere are deeds we underestimate, light on the tongue and in the hand, but with pure intentions and sincerity they can carry the weight of our salvation in the afterlife.Gaining knowledge and clarity on intentions, and how to purify them, is essential in redirecting our notions of success and ensuring they aren't done in vain. Dr. Zohair will be taking us through the narrations of Kitab al-Zuhd wa'l-Raqa'iq on the spiritual weight of small actions, the power and purification of intentions and how we may be underestimating the path to paradise.

"Having a truthful companion is better than being alone, but being alone is better than having an evil companion.”–Abu Musa (RA)How do we protect ourselves from the harm of unvirtuous friendships, while still nurturing the bonds of kinship, brotherhood, and unity within our community?What are the signs of a true friendship—versus one rooted in ego, sin, or spiritual harm?Join us tonight as Dr. Zohair takes us through the narrations of Kitab al-Zuhd wa'l-Raqa'iq that, in sha Allah, will grant us clarity, deepen our understanding, and reconnect us with teachings that bring us closer to Allah.

n Al Qayyim said,“The first thing of your religion that you will lose is khushoo', and the last thing that you will lose of your religion is salaah. There may be a person praying who has no goodness in him, and soon you will enter the mosque and not find anyone who has khushoo” (Madarij Salikeen) Allah has declared that the flourishing of the believer is connected to the flourishing of their prayer, “Successful are the believers, those who have Khushu' in their prayer” (Quran, 23:2)

Hasan Al-Basri said, *“Allah is not worshipped with anything greater than long-lasting sorrow (tūl-al-huzn)”*We often hear people say that if you have faith you will never be sad or anxious. But then how do we understand this aphorism from one of the great tabi'un? Are Muslims immune from the midlife crisis ? Or quarter life crisis ? Is it possible that you are a believer but feel nihilistic ? As you know I dislike platitudes and cliches…let's explore these questions at a deeper level as we continue our reflections from Kitab Zuhd wa Ar-Raqa'iq by Ibn Mubarak. Umar bin Khattab said, “*Sit with those who have repented, because they have the softest hearts”*The believer with a past can feel so many different emotions - guilt over their sins, overwhelming gratitude for guidance, imposter syndrome, shame, happiness all together.Can a righteous believer still be heart broken? Can a repentant Muslim who lost his friends feel lonely?Maybe your sins were a blessing in disguise to make you humble and not arrogant. To make you soft hearted and not harsh hearted. These are themes we will explore in Kitab Zuhd wa Raqa'iq this week - we'll call it: “Righteous Sadness: A Believer's Grief”

When Wolves become Shepherds Kitab Zuhd Wa Raqa'iq by Ibn Al-Mubarak. - ⁠Pitfalls of Preaching & Activism- ⁠The Art of Da'wah in the West- ⁠Knowledge & Power

Time waits for no one We start to go through the narrations in the book, Kitab az-Zuhd wa Raqa'iq. The key theme of the beginning is about the passing of time and how a believer's attitude should be toward the finiteness of his life span. This is a reality we often ignore - time is certainly running out, and where are we going? Ibn Mubarak chooses this narration to start his book:The Prophet SAW said, “there are two blessings which many people are deceived in: health and free time”

Explore lessons from the life of Abdullah ibn Mubarak the Author of Kitāb az-Zuhd wa'r-Raqāʾiq by Imām Ibn al-Mubārak (رحمه الله), a timeless work on breaking the dunya delusion.

This week and the weeks following, we will draw from the timeless wisdom of Kitāb az-Zuhd wa'r-Raqāʾiq by Imām ʿAbdullāh Ibn al-Mubārak (رحمه الله) (736–797 CE). A scholar, muḥaddith, jurist, and ascetic. Known for his depth, balance, and protection of the vulnerable.Zuhd isn't about looking poor or avoiding life's blessings. It's about keeping the heart detached from worldly things, even when they're within reach. Ibn al-Mubārak exemplified this. Though he had wealth and dressed well, he lived simply, gave generously, and stayed focused on Allah.

The deceased is followed by three, his family, his wealth, and his deeds. Two return, and one remains - his deeds. Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 6514Dr. Zohair takes us through a powerful double session on both the *Journey and Salvation in the Barzakh*.The transition from this world to the next is among the most profound moments in our existence. And while this mystery has perplexed humanity for centuries, the Quran and Sunnah describe it in vivid detail. Every soul will undertake this journey—some will be received with comfort and peace, while others may face hardship and regret.

There is a world you can't see... But it can see you, and you're only one step away from it.Some of us see the Barzakh as something distant, and a realm that we only interact with after death, but in reality *we are connected to it even now.* The unseen world is not entirely seperate from us, we interact with it without even realizing. *The Quran and Sunnah* reveal that the realm of the *Barzakh is interwined with our existence here*, but what does this teach us about the *unseen forces that shape our reality*, our *purpose in this life* and *our ultimate destination*? Join us for the first session of our Ramadan Faith Circle series, where Dr. Zohair will take us through the role of the Barzakh in our lives today, the unseen connections between this world and the next, and how our existence is already linked to what awaits us beyond the grave.

For many of us family serves as our greatest source of *love and support*, but this can also be our trying test. The Quran is filled with wholesome stories of strong and beautiful family bonds, but what are we taught about *toxic families, oppressive households and deadly rivalries?*Join us this week at *Faith Circle, Thursday February 20 at 6:30pm at the Islamic College of Brisbane* as Dr. Zohair will take us through how to navigate family tensions through the lessons in the Quran._What can we learn from a mother and young man of unmatched faith who endured in a house of tyranny?_Despite Firawn being the *worst human in history*, from his household emerged *two of the greatest people to ever live*. If righteousness can prevail from the depths of despair and toxicity, what lessons can we take from this when facing struggles in our own lives?

The pursuit of the right spouse is an imperative part of life and an integral part of our faith, but in today's world the search has become more difficult than ever. With countless options, external pressures, conflicting cultures and fitna permeating our society, how can me wake the wisest decision?

Father-son relationships are a unique bond. The father sacrifices to raise the son, and then the son sacrifices to care for his father.The Quran speaks of the strongest bond ever forged between a father and son—a legacy we are reminded of every single day of our lives: *Ibrahim and Ismail* (AS).Join us at Faith Circle, this *Thursday, January 23* at *6:45pm at Islamic College* of Brisbane as Sheikh Zohair takes us through a reflection on the legendary partnership of Prophet Ibrahim and Prophet Ismail (AS) that established our most sacred place of worship and produced a progeny that culminated in our last and final Messenger (SWAS). Through this story, we will reflect on:

Alhumdulilah we'll be kicking off the first Faith Circle of the year, and our new topic of Families in the Quranwith Miraculous Bonds. In this session Sheikh Zohair will be taking us through on some of the most remarkable and noteworthy connections found among Families in the Quran:✨ *Zakariyya & Yahya* AS: A story of *heartfelt dua* and *steadfast patience*, and Allah's response with the gift of wisdom and rightenousness.✨ *Maryam & Eesa* AS: An extraordinary bond, exhibiting resilience and Allah's mercy in refuting accusations into *ultimate vindication* and testament of virtue.✨ *Ibrahim & Ishaaq* AS: The legacy of a *deep and bright lineage*, driven by a *commitment to righteous leadership* to fulfil the divine mission which resonates with us today.Through these stories, we'll reflect on:

_How do we, as Muslims, truly honour Isa (AS) and understand his prophesied return?_Next week, we'll conclude this year's Faith Circle with a *special end-of-year session:**The Return of Jesus (Isa AS): From Damascus to Al-Aqsa*With recent events of the tyrant falling in Damascus, we are reminded of Isa (AS)'s descent. As the world observes Christmas, we reflect on how we, as Muslims, truly honour Jesus (AS)—not just as a prophet but as the Messiah in the final chapter of humanity. His return empowers us with hope and Yaqeen, symbolizing the ultimate triumph of truth and justice, the unity of believers, and the fulfillment of Allah's perfect plan.✨ *What We'll Cover*:

In this week's class, Sheikh Zohair reveals the two antidotes for spiritual healing:• Love of Allah• Determination to act on this love

In this week's class, we look at how the Shaytan plants desire to mislead us, using speech to resist the devil's traps, deceptions through distractions and falsehoods. As well as practical strategies to manage anger and confront the devil's deceptions head-on.

Mental health has become a widely discussed and emphasized subject, particularly in the last five years. While mental health services are a critical component to healthcare, the mental health industry operates on multiple underlying dogmas that are opposed to the Islamic worldview.Dr. Zohair Abdul Rahman joins Imam Tom Facchine to bring to light four key dogmas at play that both Muslims who seek access to these services and practitioners themselves should keep in mind when facing this paradigm. #ethics #mentalhealth #therapy #islam

Shirk (idolatry) is widely known as the greatest sin a person can commit. What makes it worse than murder, oppression, and destruction? It ultimately leads back to the connection between faith and morality. Imam Tom Facchine invites Dr. Zohair Abdul Rahman to break down the consequences of shirk within popular moral frameworks, and the places where morality fails without faith.
